As you know, if you've been listening from the beginning, this podcast was started with Leah. Shortly after us starting the podcast, Leah had to step back due to baby appointments and needing to put her pregnancy and family first.

The twins are now a little over a month old and she's ready to share her experience with the birth of her twins. 

Hi friends!

On this episode join me and my husband as we laugh at lies people tell their kids including lies we've told our own. This was a super fun one to record and you may get some good ideas!

This episode is meant to be fun but also remind you that it's important to have dependable people in your life. We all need support and people to share the good and the bad with. 

Meet my sister in law, Marcy! She also struggled with infertility and eventually became pregnant with twins. Join us and hear her story. She's hilarious and a kick ass mom!

In this episode we discuss our experiences with breastfeeding.

If it seems that we come across as not being advocates for it, please know that is not the case. I breastfed my first kid for 9 months, my second for 18, and my third for 5 months. We do discuss how it was not always an enjoyable experience and the difficulties we faced. 

If you're struggling with breastfeeding, please reach out to your provider, lactation consultant, or reach out to La Leche League at https://www.llli.org for more resources.

Remember the lanolin cream, be patient with yourself, use your providers, monitor if your baby is making wet diapers, these are things that can bring you peace of mined. Remember that cluster feeding helps get your supply up even though it may make you want to give up. 

MY GOAL IS TO DRIVE HOME THE POINT  that as long as your baby is being fed and loved - you are doing the right thing. 

Meet my husband! We cover our story on how we met and ended up married with 3 kids. We cover our dynamics, struggles, parenting, and that time my husband confessed he didn't want to be a dad anymore.

Hi friends!

In this episode I talk about birth plans loosely and recount my birth story with my first child. Fair warning, this one is pretty graphic. I took castor oil and let's just say it wasn't pretty.

Do you feel guilty for taking time for yourself or doing things without your kids? Do you fear you're not doing enough? Guess what, we all feel like that from time to time and I'm here to tell you that you deserve that time alone!
